Most people have 20,000 to 60,000 thoughts per day. And for Americans, more than half of those thoughts are negative. So how do you teach your children to guard their minds and hearts in today's society? The last thing you need is more parenting advice that proves futile.

Your beliefs strongly influence your thoughts, words, and actions, which in turn form your emotions. So the key to a high-quality life is to create powerful beliefs within your heart that control your behavior. You can think whatever thoughts you want, but what would happen if you mainly thought about the words Jesus told you to think about more that two thousand years ago?

Seasoned marriage and family relationship expert Dr. Gary Smalley clearly understands the frustrations of trying to defend your children from destructive cultural influences. In this interactive twelve-week workbook that accompanies the Guarding Your Child's Heart DVD series, Dr. Smalley shares four core beliefs that keep your children from straying from God: humility, loving God, loving others, and gratitude. His how-to-steps, engaging questions, practical exercises, and fun activities help the whole family memorize and meditate on key Scriptures and lead an enriching life of humility, love, and gratitude.
